Elastic bands broke

I got this as part of Rewards Room and had high hopes for it. I’m a massive fan of Toni and Guy and use quite a lot of their products.
I was excited to get the elastic and pin set so I can take it to work. But after one week, I was really diasappointed when the elastic bands started to break apart. I hadn’t even used it more then twice and the bands looked they were ready to rip apart.

The Bobby pins are really great to use for everyday. They hold your hair in place well and don’t slip off.

Fantastic!

I received these as part of my beautorium order and WOW; firstly I love the little compact tin, it is great to store/hold your hair accessories but also ideal for travelling or when out & about. The packaging is stunning and convenient while the hair ties/ bobby pins are of the highest standard, they really hold hair in place compared to others I have tried. I would happily purchase and I definitely recommend to others. Amazing!

Any Tips?:

Carry when out & about.

Ideal For...:

Those looking for quality.

Quality brand, quality product.

Before I even speak about the product, the packaging in itself is awesome. I love that the lid slides off when needed but doesn't continuously fall off when not needed.
It can also store so much inside - two different sized bobbi pin packs and a bunch of hair ties.

I find the whole pack is super strong at holding hair in place, which is difficult to find when you have such thin hair. They also don't pull the hair either whilst wearing.

I am a huge fan already.

Any Tips?:

Try some!

Ideal For...:

Anyone wanting high quality hair pins and hair ties.

Compact Packaging with great Elastics and Pins!

This is the best idea for keeping elastics and bobby pin in a compact case. I always lose my bobby pins, no matter how many packs I buy, they just disappear. However, by keeping my elastics and bobby pins in this Toni & Guy case I can always be sure that I won’t lose them again!

It is extremely travel friendly, a great accessary to put in the handbag. The design of the tin case is cute and small. Also it is very easy to open the lid, as you just slide it out.

There are two size types of the bobby pins: long and short ones. They are both very sturdy and strong in clipping my hair. Additionally, the elastics are thick and can hold up my hair for a whole day without falling. Even though it holds my hair for the long day, it does not tighten my head and make me feel uncomfortable throughout the day.

I definitely recommend in buying this product, especially for the beauties out there who are always lose their bobby pins.

Game changer

Ok ladies so this little beauty arrived in my spring discovery bag...

thinking at first it was just some bobby pins and a few hair ties.. I got the shock of my life, when out came the cutest little tin. (I am definitely a sucker for this type of thing) but honestly the amount of times I've had to rake through the bottom of my bag in a desperate search for a bobby pin is uncountable.. So how could you not love this little on the go tin, where you can store a few bobby pins and even hair ties, so you are never left caught out.

Getting back to the bobby pins and hair ties.... I loved how you got two different sizes of bobby pins.. both are so useful when trying to create a hairstyle. the bigger ones were my fave, as you don't generally find too many that size.. the bobby pins held their shape well and kept hair in the position I wanted. The hair ties were fab too, they were thick, strong and really kept hair tight when putting up into a ponytail.

overall really loved the product and getting the little tin would win me over any day!!!

Any Tips?:

Use the little on the go tin, it'll be your best friend!

Quality without damage!

I'm super particular about especially my hair elastics. I have a LOT of hair on my head, but it's also very thin and difficult to manage. I need elastics that are both strong and gentle... can't break the thin hairs... can't let the large amount of hair sag down either. Pretty painful to find good elastics.

I have to admit I was really unsure about these elastics when I first took them out of the packaging... they seemed smaller than my usual elastics, and they seemed harder to stretch. I was afraid they wouldn't fit around my hair right or I would have to pull them around my hair so tightly my hair would break.

I use my elastics for two things - ponytails (usually at work) and braids (usually while I sleep). I love using these for both, to be honest - they have not at all aggravated the ends of my hair (in a braid) and they have held up my ponytail perfectly without giving me headaches. It took a bit of strength to get the first elastic around my ponytail but once it sat in place, it did so comfortably without any visible damage afterwards.

The bobby pins are the same - sturdy, and high enough quality for you to be able to take them out without also taking hair out of your head. And my hair is thin, so it doesn't take much for bobby pins to cause breakage... these so far have not!

I'm also really excited about the little box these came in - it's so simple but so helpful. Makes you go, "Why have I never come up with this myself" - we're all always looking for hairties and pins and where they went and where to put them... now they just ALL go in the box in my handbag. I haven't lost a single one of any of them in a week, so that's saying a lot.

I will be repurchasing these. It's difficult to find good hair elastics and bobby pins and honestly, with this product, you KNOW you're buying quality. It does its job well without your hair paying the price.

Any Tips?:

Use the box they come in, that's all.

Ideal For...:

I dare say if it's suitable for my head of hair, it would be suitable for almost anyone's hair. I really recommend giving these a try.

Saviour for my thick hair!

I'm pretty sure I can say this for majority of the female population - when we buy a pack of bobby pins, within a week we have lost most of them haha! I've never really had much of an "on the go" solution for keeping my hair ties and bobby pins from getting lost so having this handy little case has been a game changer!

The case itself is small but sturdy with a slide off lid which clips in place securely so there's no chance of the bobby pins and hair ties falling out. The hair ties are fantastic, at first I was worried they'd be too annoying as I am use to thin ones but I found I only needed to loop it over twice to keep my hair in place! My buns have stayed put every day using the combination of larger and small bobby pins also.
I'm off to hospital in a few days time for surgery and I will definitely be taking this little set along with me!
Fantastic concept!

Cutest Packaging!

This has to be in as cute a package as I've seen and as well as being cute it's practical. The Toni & Guy Thick Elastic and Bobby Pin Combo arrived in my wonderful Spring Discovery Bag. My Granddaughters haven't seen it yet but I can imagine the squeals of delight when they do. It's incredibly sensible to have a tiny tin to keep items in, especially when the particular item can easily get lost because it is so small.

I was impressed with the two different sized bobby pins - they are super cute but practical. The bands are incredibly practical too and are not going to damage hair because they are strong, thick and very flexible but so easy to use.

The lid slides on easily and is unlikely to slide open without you wanting it to, which is really good. An extremely simple but good accessory!

Any Tips?:

Don't try to close the lid with the cardboard packaging attached - I did and it doesn't work!

Ideal For...:

A gorgeous mini gift, and so practical for anyone who uses elastics for pony tails etc. or bobby pins.

Good for any hair type

These hair ties and bobby pins by Toni&Guy are nice and strong, you can already tell without using them. They are available in two colours (black and brown). They come in a little tin which makes them easy to travel with or chuck into your handbag. They keep your hair nice and tight reassuring you that they'll keep your ponytail in all day long. They are especially good for thick hair but will suit any hair thickness. The bobby pins are nice as they come in different sizes.

Ideal For...:

- Thick hair especially
- Anyone who wants a reliable hair tie to keep their hair up all day

Perfect handbag accessory

Receiving this product in the Spring Discovery bag i was super excited. You know why? Because i ALWAYS lose my hair elastics!!

Its a small packet, which is great as you can just slip it in your handbag and go, always knowing you have a bobby pin for those pesky fly aways or a hair elastic if your hair is getting out of control.

The hair elastics were nice and thick but with plenty of stretch to them, not feeling like they would snap or ping off my head at any given moment. Love them!!

The bobby pins are also fab to have, having lots of whispy hair is always a curse but these make it easy to keep my hair looking super smooth.

Ill definately repurchase (if and when I run out/loose them!)

Any Tips?:

Keep in handbag at all times

Ideal For...:

Anyone and everyone

Love its “storage” concept !!!

What makes Toni & Guy's Thick Elastic and Bobby Pin Combo so unique is the way these items are packaged and stored. I must admit that it is a brilliant idea because often my hair elastics and bobby pins are “lost” at the bottom of my handbag. Being so small and coloured black they are usually difficult to see and I have to pull out everything out of my handbag before I find them. The way this product is packaged, shows that the makers at Toni & Guy gave this product a lot of consideration when they decided to market it.

This product consists of :

10 long black Bobby Pins measuring 6.3cm each and 10 short black Bobby Pins measuring 4.3cm each. The bobby pins are coated with a black paint to make them more rust resistant when they come in contact with water. The ends are also rounded off into little black blobs to prevent the bobby pins from scratching the scalp as you use them.

As well as these, there are 6 thick, strong, elastic hair bands which are coated in a black,smooth, tightly woven material so that when they are used they won't harm the hair like rubber bands or the cheap uncoated, rubber/plastic hair elastics. I also notice that Toni & Guy ensure that the join in the hair elastic is “smooth”. In other words, they haven't crimped a piece of metal to join the two ends of the band like you see in some hair elastics but have melted the material coating to fuse the ends. Again, this is so that their hair elastic causes the least amount of damage to the hair.

I do love the way all these items are packaged and stored. Toni & Guy have thoughtfully provided a small convenient tin measuring 7.5cm x4.5cm with a slide on lid in which to store all these items. Not only that, the bobby pins have a thin, clear firm rectangular piece of plastic; one for the long ones and the other for the short ones, to attach them to and keep the bobby pins in place. The whole set up within the tin is kept neat.

So with this product now in my handbag, there's no more rummaging in my handbag to find a bobby pin or a hair elastic. They're all kept in one neat place and easy to find because of the size of the tin. It's such a brilliant idea that Toni & Guy has developed for ease of use of such simple but often used items that this products deserves the 5 Star rating I give it. I love this item and am so happy that it was one of the items in the Spring Discovery Bag for me to trial. Thank you so much, Beauty Heaven !!!

Ideal For...:

Ideal for the handbag and for taking on travels. So easy to find if you need one of the items in the tin.
